Guild Wars 2

I’m getting a tad tired of the fact all new skins are just that, skins.

That’s fine and all, but there’s much more to weapons in the game than it’s look. Effects, sounds, animations!

Say the Zodiac Warhorn skin, it looks like a rooster, why can’t it just have a fun rooster sound when you blow it?

Or say aetherblade greatsword skin, it obviously has a lot parts that could move but don’t. Or say the aetherblade staff, it basically looks like a tesla coil and it could have this electric swoosh whenever it’d be used.

Not a whole lot of things in this game have these types of things. I’m not asking for everything to be legendary, no, but say the wintersday pop-gun, it pops! That’s what makes it great and a very liked weapon, not because of it’s skin, actually barely because of that.

What was great about the SAB skins also was that they made a sound! They made a nice 8bit sound, it gave them a lot more character.

Agreed.
I play on a lower end system, so I can’t even enjoy the “fine details” on the weapons in most cases. So more unique effects and sounds would definitely be a welcome addition!

Yeah, I wish my Whisper’s Pistol had a suppressed gunshot sound effect. It does have a suppressor on it…

Well, we do know sounds can be altered. The wintersday toy weapons had a couple with their own sounds. The slingshot and the pop gun if I remember correctly.
